[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- if the above commenters are saying she should get 23/hr that's 65k a year gross (1265/week including overtime), so not too far off from what we are paying now, even if it's a backwards way that we do our taxes.

I'd rather not find a new nanny..

So if I raise her pay to $800 take-home a week, you all think this is more than fair?[/quote]

Yes, more than fair. And I strongly suggest that you rewrite this for the actual salary ($23/hr), and tell her you will be doing withholding. Right now, if she's getting a tax return, that money should be coming back to you in the current arrangement, which is that you pay her taxes, not that you pay the IRS the estimated taxes, and then she keeps any overage. You should only pay what she actually owes, and if that is less than she sent in, you should get that back.

Going to straight hourly eliminates that issue -- she can do whatever she wants in terms of her W4, and you don't have to feel so taken advantage of.[/quote]
